Jeep: 2015 Cherokee and Wrangler changing the game

Whether it’s blazing a trail off road or powerful nimble handling on the streets and highway, Jeep’s 2015 Cherokee and Wrangler are game changers. Both vehicles pack substantial power and offer the first diesel powered Jeeps in the U.S. market. The Jeep Cherokee sports an intimidating look with a slotted, crimped in middle grille and sleek headlamps. There are several engine options from the 3.6-liter V6 to a 6.4-liter V8 with options for a diesel variant. The expectation is also that Jeep might offer the 5.7-liter HEMI V8.

Because this is a 2015 model the options are plentiful; touch screens, 8.4 inch HID power driver seat, CD/MP3 stereo, dual-zone air conditioning, keyless start, fog lights, U Connect Bluetooth phone, a 30GB hard drive, 17-inch or 18-inch alloy wheels. The Cherokee will appear in showrooms by the summer of 2014 with prices estimated to range from $30,000 to $65,000.
